I have only ever known you within the confines of this exam room in my office.

Years ago, you were sent to me for a consultation.

Understandably nervous, you had all your questions written out on a notepad in your spidery handwriting.

You believe in being organized. 1/

Neg CFB ✅

[ELSO @ELSOOrg]

Volume status & outcome on VV #ECMO: VV ECMO survivors had a significantly more negative CFB during the first 7 days of veno-venous #ECLS, and cumulative fluid balance identified independent predictor of 90 day mortality in this @asaiojournal study. https://t.co/FQ7KcJQtlN

[M Velia Antonini @FOAMecmo]

Prone positioning on VV #ECMO for severe #ARDS: in this large analisys including 889 pts from 5 studies comparing conventional management (supine position) vs proning, PP not significantly associated with reduced ICU mortality.
